by_o week_n the_o seven_o &_o last_o thing_n they_o have_v that_o have_v any_o likelihood_n to_o prove_v this_o constancy_n be_v the_o frequent_a apparition_n of_o christ_n evermore_o upon_o the_o

then_o you_o shall_v hear_v the_o same_o word_n preach_v again_o so_o the_o apostle_n have_v sit_v occasion_n to_o have_v inform_v these_o disciple_n at_o antioch_n of_o their_o new_a sabbath_n if_o there_o have_v be_v any_o nay_o i_o can_v see_v how_o with_o discharge_n of_o their_o function_n they_o can_v have_v omit_v such_o a_o occasion_n beside_o as_o i_o say_v the_o apostle_n may_v have_v keep_v this_o lord_n day_n here_o if_o they_o will_v for_o nothing_o hinder_v forasmuch_o as_o these_o gentile_n be_v suitor_n unto_o the_o apostle_n to_o preach_v unto_o they_o it_o be_v at_o the_o

think_v that_o the_o apostle_n paul_n and_o barnabas_n esteem_v the_o lord_n day_n to_o be_v sabbath_n day_n and_o hereby_o it_o appear_v also_o that_o paul_n keep_v not_o this_o lord_n day_n constant_o at_o all_o time_n and_o in_o all_o place_n which_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o when_o paul_n do_v preach_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n as_o here_o he_o do_v at_o troas_n act._n 20.7_o that_o

my_o first_o answer_n 2._o i_o answer_v whereas_o the_o patroness_n of_o this_o new_a sabbath_n take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o paul_n sermon_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v action_n perform_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n or_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n this_o i_o deny_v they_o &_o this_o they_o must_v prove_v for_o it_o will_v be_v find_v that_o both_o the_o sermon_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v do_v in_o the_o night_n time_n which_o be_v no_o part_n of_o the_o day_n and_o consequent_o that_o these_o action_n be_v not_o do_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n i_o confess_v the_o disciple_n meet_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n or_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n but_o it_o follow_v not_o thence_o that_o therefore_o paul_n preach_v &_o administer_v the_o lord_n supper_n on_o this_o first_o day_n wherein_o they_o assemble_v that_o this_o be_v no_o paradox_n you_o shall_v see_v the_o text_n give_v i_o light_a unto_o this_o answer_n as_o for_o paul_n sermon_n that_o this_o be_v perform_v in_o the_o night_n time_n after_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v pass_v see_v the_o text_n which_o say_v there_o be_v many_o light_n in_o a_o upper_a chamber_n where_o they_o be_v assemble_v v._o 8._o ergo_fw-la it_o be_v in_o the_o night_n time_n that_o they_o be_v assemble_v again_o the_o text_n say_v that_o paul_n continue_v his_o preach_n unto_o midnight_n v._o 7._o wherefore_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o paul_n sermon_n be_v in_o the_o night_n further_o as_o for_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n it_o be_v in_o those_o day_n a_o evening_n or_o night_n work_n see_v mark_n 14.17.22_o 1_o cor._n 11.21_o and_o paul_n do_v not_o celebrate_v the_o lord_n supper_n in_o all_o liklihood_n until_o midnight_n after_o his_o sermon_n be_v finish_v see_v act._n 20.11_o so_o both_o the_o sermon_n and_o the_o sacrament_n be_v perform_v in_o the_o night_n it_o be_v lik_o also_o that_o the_o disciple_n here_o at_o troas_n assemble_v not_o in_o the_o morning_n but_o in_o the_o

that_o be_v to_o receive_v the_o lord_n supper_n now_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v a_o evening_n or_o night_n work_n in_o those_o day_n as_o have_v be_v prove_v it_o be_v to_o be_v

supper_n time_n and_o at_o evening_n time_n at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o day_n again_o the_o text_n say_v paul_n continue_v his_o preach_n until_o midnight_n now_o it_o be_v a_o most_o unreasonable_a thing_n to_o imagine_v that_o paul_n shall_v begin_v his_o sermon_n in_o the_o morning_n about_o 8_o of_o the_o clock_n &_o continue_v his_o preach_n until_o midnight_n it_o be_v never_o hear_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o sermon_n make_v of_o sixteen_o hour_n long_o wherefore_o it_o be_v the_o most_o likely_a that_o paul_n may_v begin_v his_o sermon_n after_o supper_n about_o 9_o or_o 10_o a_o

be_v direct_v unto_o his_o disciple_n as_o you_o may_v see_v mat._n 24.1.2_o three_o this_o commandment_n be_v that_o they_o shall_v use_v all_o possible_a mean_n to_o avoid_v their_o flight_n upon_o the_o sabbath_n day_n for_o there_o be_v none_o other_o mean_n to_o be_v use_v for_o the_o avoid_v of_o this_o flight_n but_o only_a prayer_n to_o god_n for_o their_o study_n &_o care_n and_o other_o humane_a &_o natural_a mean_n can_v do_v nothing_o in_o this_o matter_n for_o the_o prevention_n of_o this_o flight_n so_o then_o prayer_n be_v all_o the_o mean_n that_o possible_o can_v be_v use_v christ_n command_v his_o disciple_n to_o use_v all_o mean_n that_o be_v possible_a to_o be_v use_v yea_o since_o prayer_n must_v be_v accompany_v with_o all_o mean_n &_o indeavore_n of_o man_n if_o

will_v not_o have_v his_o disciple_n to_o do_v no_o not_o such_o necessary_a work_n as_o may_v save_v their_o life_n on_o the_o sabbath_n if_o they_o may_v be_v prevent_v &_o thus_o i_o have_v sufficient_o prove_v the_o four_o thing_n in_o my_o minor_n the_o 5_o and_o last_o thing_n to_o be_v prove_v in_o my_o minor_n be_v that_o this_o flight_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v speak_v of_o to_o be_v about_o 50_o year_n after_o the_o death_n &_o end_n of_o all_o ceremony_n that_o the_o destruction_n of_o jerusalem_n by_o vespasian_n be_v a_o matter_n of_o 40_o or_o 46._o year_n after_o

be_v observe_v by_o a_o holy_a rest_n at_o the_o destruction_n of_o jerusalem_n by_o vespasian_n which_o be_v near_o 50_o year_n after_o christ_n passion_n at_o which_o time_n all_o ceremony_n end_v it_o follow_v that_o the_o sabbath_n be_v to_o be_v observe_v near_o 50_o year_n after_o the_o end_n of_o all_o ceremony_n and_o thus_o i_o have_v prove_v and_o confirm_v both_o propositiones_fw-la in_o my_o argument_n yet_o ay_o cale_fw-la to_o mind_n iij_o objection_n more_o that_o may_v be_v make_v against_o this_o argument_n the_o one_o be_v that_o christ_n have_v not_o respect_v so_o much_o unto_o the_o religion_n &_o conscience_n of_o the_o sabbath_n as_o rather_o to_o this_o that_o he_o have_v a_o care_n to_o the_o safeguard_n of_o the_o life_n of_o those_o besiege_a for_o if_o they_o shall_v fly_v in_o the_o winter_n they_o shall_v be_v hinder_v by_o the_o foulness_n of_o the_o way_n and_o if_o on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n they_o shall_v be_v hinder_v by_o their_o superstitiouse_a &_o needless_a conscience_n which_o they_o will_v make_v of_o the_o sabbath_n &_o so_o it_o may_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o their_o enemy_n shall_v surprise_v they_o because_o they_o can_v not_o make_v that_o speed_n that_o be_v fit_v in_o such_o a_o time_n of_o danger_n hereunto_o janswer_n 1._o it_o be_v agrosse_v conceit_n of_o any_o to_o account_v that_o obedience_n superstitiouse_a &_o

four_o come_v to_o be_v abolish_v 2._o i_o have_v before_o show_v that_o christ_n when_o he_o speak_v of_o slight_a on_o the_o sabbath_n he_o speak_v it_o in_o a_o religiouse_a respect_n but_o admit_v that_o christ_n speak_v these_o word_n for_o the_o safeguard_n of_o their_o life_n yet_o so_o it_o will_v come_v to_o the_o same_o still_o that_o christ_n ratify_v the_o sabbath_n day_n for_o as_o in_o the_o winter_n the_o deepness_n of_o the_o way_n the_o shortness_n of_o the_o day_n &_o tediousness_n of_o the_o weather_n will_v aggravate_v their_o cross_n &_o hinder_v their_o speedy_a

to_o profane_v the_o sabbath_n which_o they_o will_v glad_o have_v sanctify_v in_o obedience_n to_o god_n four_o come_v these_o thing_n will_v aggravate_v the_o cross_n and_o stick_v so_o in_o their_o mind_n as_o it_o will_v make_v their_o heart_n to_o fail_v they_o and_o so_o hinder_v their_o speedy_a flight_n thus_o the_o winter_n will_v be_v a_o impediment_n to_o their_o body_n and_o the_o sabbath_n will_v be_v a_o impediment_n to_o their_o soul_n &_o so_o the_o whole_a man_n will_v be_v disable_v for_o a_o speedy_a flight_n and_o for_o the_o safeguard_n of_o their_o life_n further_o more_o as_o touch_v their_o superstitiouse_a conscience_n what_o reason_n can_v be_v imagine_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v more_o unfit_a to_o fly_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n then_o on_o a_o week_n day_n or_o why_o shall_v their_o speedy_a flight_n be_v more_o hinder_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n then_o on_o a_o other_o day_n if_o not_o for_o this_o cause_n that_o they_o make_v a_o conscience_n of_o fly_v &_o travail_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n more_o than_o on_o any_o other_o day_n now_o forasmuch_o as_o our_o saviour_n command_v they_o to_o pray_v to_o god_n that_o they_o may_v not_o fly_v on_o that_o day_n for_o the_o offence_n of_o their_o conscience_n thereby_o he_o allow_v of_o &_o approve_v of_o their_o make_a conscience_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n suppose_v our_o saviour_n

they_o spend_v divine_a prayer_n for_o the_o satisfy_a the_o desire_n of_o a_o superstitiouse_a &_o needless_a conscience_n &_o have_v not_o this_o be_v a_o abuse_n of_o holy_a prayer_n and_o of_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n to_o beg_v of_o he_o thing_n for_o their_o lust_n &_o vain_a desire_n if_o their_o conscience_n be_v a_o vain_a &_o needless_a conscience_n than_o they_o shall_v pray_v to_o

be_v moral_a and_o perpetual_a or_o else_o those_o duty_n perform_v in_o that_o time_n by_o the_o four_o come_v to_o wit_n rest_n from_o labour_n and_o holy_a exercise_n these_o must_v be_v

of_o the_o four_o comm_n can_v possible_o be_v a_o reason_n unto_o the_o lord_n day_n for_o it_o be_v most_o absurd_a for_o any_o man_n to_o think_v god_n shall_v persuade_v we_o to_o keep_v the_o

i_o confess_v we_o may_v be_v bold_a to_o render_v a_o reason_n why_o christ_n supper_n be_v call_v the_o lord_n supper_n because_o we_o have_v a_o word_n of_o institution_n add_v to_o the_o name_n

all_o other_o in_o this_o that_o on_o it_o christ_n rise_v &_o yet_o be_v not_o the_o lord_n day_n a_o sabbath_n day_n ere_o the_o more_o for_o this_o excellency_n as_o the_o minister_n excel_v all_o

a_o express_a commandment_n to_o the_o jew_n to_o keep_v that_o sabbath_n in_o memory_n of_o the_o creation_n but_o there_o can_v be_v no_o commandment_n show_v we_o from_o christ_n or_o his_o

will_v be_v that_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n be_v great_a unto_o the_o elect_a unto_o the_o redeem_a and_o to_o those_o only_o which_o have_v faith_n well_o then_o the_o redemption_n be_v neither_o great_a nor_o great_a nor_o any_o thing_n at_o all_o to_o those_o which_o be_v not_o elect_v not_o redeem_v and_o which_o live_v &_o die_v without_o faith_n of_o these_o ij_o sort_n of_o

that_o we_o christian_n that_o be_v all_o we_o christian_n even_o every_o one_o within_o the_o pale_a of_o the_o church_n that_o be_v baptize_v all_o these_o aught_o to_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n for_o a_o sabbath_n in_o memory_n of_o the_o redemption_n when_o as_o the_o one_o half_a of_o these_o be_v not_o redeem_v and_o their_o reason_n to_o bind_v all_o &_o every_o man_n thus_o to_o keep_v a_o remembrance_n of_o this_o redemption_n be_v because_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n be_v great_a unto_o some_o only_o of_o these_o man_n how_o absurd_a be_v this_o that_o every_o man_n shall_v be_v bind_v to_o keep_v a_o joyful_a memory_n of_o that_o thing_n which_o do_v belong_v but_o unto_o some_o of_o they_o only_o as_o not_o to_o the_o one_o half_a of_o they_o this_o be_v as_o if_o they_o will_v undertake_v to_o persuade_v not_o only_o english_a man_n but_o also_o dutch_a man_n &_o french_a man_n to_o keep_v a_o yearly_a joyful_a remembrance_n with_o we_o for_o our_o

and_o such_o as_o love_v not_o the_o lord_n jesus_n wherefore_o they_o can_v press_v this_o their_o new_a sabbath_n of_o lord_n day_n by_o this_o their_o reason_n upon_o any_o but_o upon_o such_o as_o they_o see_v by_o their_o fruit_n do_v already_o believe_v such_o as_o do_v not_o yet_o believe_v which_o common_o be_v the_o great_a number_n these_o be_v not_o tie_v unto_o the_o keep_n of_o this_o

the_o great_a number_n of_o our_o city_n town_n &_o parish_n these_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o keep_v it_o this_o their_o reason_n therefore_o do_v bewray_v the_o idleness_n of_o the_o cause_n for_o we_o must_v have_v such_o a_o sabbath_n as_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o do_v belong_v unto_o all_o and_o to_o every_o man_n none_o except_v and_o such_o be_v the_o saturday_n sabbath_n which_o be_v to_o be_v

so_o with_o the_o sunday_n sabbath_n for_o a_o few_o only_o have_v reason_n to_o keep_v it_o yet_o further_o to_o discover_v the_o vanity_n of_o this_o argument_n since_o they_o will_v have_v we_o keep_v a_o sabbath_n in_o remembrance_n of_o the_o redemption_n i_o demand_v of_o they_o how_o often_o they_o will_v have_v we_o keep_v a_o sabbaah_o in_o memory_n of_o the_o repemption_n once_o every_o seven_o day_n oft_o or_o seldomer_n they_o will_v answer_v once_o every_o seven_o day_n why_o say_v i_o that_o be_v jewish_a and_o savour_v of_o judaisme_n to_o observe_v a_o seven_o day_n this_o they_o have_v learn_v from_o the_o jewish_a sabbath_n wherefore_o since_o they_o do_v so_o abhor_v judaisme_n &_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n why_o do_v they_o imitate_v the_o jew_n herein_o and_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n by_o choose_v a_o seven_o day_n the_o seven_o day_n be_v in_o imitation_n of_o god_n rest_n on_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o in_o memory_n of_o the_o world_n creation_n finish_v at_o the_o seven_o day_n but_o we_o be_v christian_n and_o as_o they_o say_v all_o thing_n be_v become_v new_a old_a thing_n be_v pass_v away_o well_o then_o we_o must_v now_o imitate_v christ_n the_o redeemer_n as_o the_o jew_n do_v god_n the_o creator_n and_o we_o must_v fetch_v light_n from_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n to_o know_v how_o often_o to_o keep_v our_o new_a sabbath_n as_o the_o jew_n do_v by_o god_n direction_n from_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n if_o then_o we_o must_v imitate_v christ_n the_o redeemer_n as_o do_v the_o jew_n god_n the_o creator_n then_o must_v we_o travail_v too_o &_o fro_o upon_o the_o lord_n day_n for_o so_o do_v christ_n himself_o 2._o if_o we_o must_v fetch_v light_a how_o often_o to_o keep_v our_o new_a sabbath_n from_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n as_o the_o jew_n do_v from_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n then_o must_v we_o since_o all_o thing_n be_v become_v new_a take_v up_o a_o new_a account_n of_o time_n also_o we_o must_v no_o long_o regard_v a_o seven_o day_n but_o now_o we_o must_v regard_v the_o three_o day_n for_o as_o god_n be_v six_o day_n in_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n &_o rest_v the_o seven_o so_o christ_n be_v three_o day_n in_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n &_o rose_n &_o rest_v the_o three_o day_n on_o good_a friday_n he_o suffer_v upon_o the_o cross_n on_o saturday_n &_o on_o a_o part_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n he_o lay_v in_o the_o grave_n so_o you_o see_v the_o work_n of_o redemption_n cost_n christ_n 3_o day_n work_n wherefore_o if_o they_o will_v imitate_v christ_n they_o must_v keep_v every_o three_o day_n for_o a_o lord_n day_n &_o for_o a_o new_a sabbath_n &_o so_o they_o shall_v keep_v two_o sabbath_n in_o a_o week_n or_o thereabouts_o &_o if_o they_o do_v not_o thus_o they_o may_v talk_v what_o they_o will_v that_o all_o thing_n be_v become_v new_a &_o that_o as_o the_o jew_n keep_v a_o sabbath_n in_o imitation_n of_o god_n at_o the_o creation_n so_o we_o in_o imitation_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o redemption_n but_o where_o be_v their_o imitation_n of_o christ_n do_v they_o travail_v too_o &_o fro_o &_o follow_v their_o calling_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n as_o christ_n do_v &_o do_v they_o keep_v every_o three_o day_n a_o lord_n day_n and_o sabbath_n day_n as_o christ_n rise_v upon_o the_o three_o day_n no_o such_o matter_n furthermore_o whereas_o they_o suppose_v that_o we_o have_v as_o great_a need_n of_o a_o sabbath_n to_o keep_v a_o memory_n of_o the_o redemption_n as_o the_o jew_n have_v of_o a_o sabbath_n to_o keep_v in_o memory_n the_o

they_o have_v no_o other_o help_n but_o for_o we_o &_o for_o the_o redemption_n we_o have_v two_o sacrament_n baptism_n &_o the_o lord_n supper_n to_o keep_v in_o memory_n the_o redemption_n &_o

body_n with_o continual_a labour_n in_o one_o week_n as_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v unfit_a to_o labour_v a_o other_o week_n now_o common_a reason_n teach_v that_o man_n body_n can_v endure_v

in_o from_o labour_n &_o therefore_o it_o be_v meet_v that_o some_o one_o day_n in_o a_o week_n be_v set_v a_o part_n for_o rest_n that_o so_o a_o man_n may_v so_o work_v one_o week_n as_o he_o may_v

for_o they_o be_v so_o requisite_a and_o needful_a that_o all_o man_n will_v grante_v i_o that_o it_o be_v meet_v to_o have_v a_o day_n set_v a_o part_n for_o the_o public_a worship_n of_o god_n &_o the_o edification_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n to_o omit_v what_o else_o may_v be_v say_v the_o necessity_n of_o a_o sabbath_n day_n appear_v in_o this_o that_o our_o church_n do_v now_o celebrate_v many_o holy_a day_n for_o the_o same_o end_n &_o not_o only_o the_o saint_n day_n yearly_a but_o also_o the_o lord_n day_n weekly_o 2._o it_o be_v meet_v to_o have_v a_o sabbath_n day_n because_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n of_o good_a report_n approve_a &_o allow_v of_o by_o all_o christian_a church_n now_o the_o apostle_n call_v upon_o we_o to_o follow_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v of_o good_a report_n phil._n 4.8_o &_o those_o thing_n therefore_o which_o all_o christian_a people_n approve_v and_o allow_v of_o be_v meet_v to_o be_v have_v in_o use_n papist_n they_o allow_v of_o rest_v from_o labour_n and_o the_o public_a worship_n of_o god_n constant_o upon_o one_o day_n of_o every_o seven_o lutheran_n do_v the_o like_a and_o anabaptist_n how_o ever_o they_o keep_v no_o day_n by_o divine_a institution_n yet_o they_o keep_v and_o hold_v it_o fit_a to_o keep_v one_o day_n in_o seven_o wherein_o they_o rest_v from_o their_o labour_n and_o perform_v public_a worship_n unto_o god_n last_o all_o protestant_n do_v allow_v and_o approve_v of_o one_o day_n in_o seven_o as_o fit_a to_o rest_v in_o from_o labour_n and_o to_o worship_n god_n public_o so_o here_o be_v a_o cloud_n of_o witeness_n hold_v it_o meet_v to_o keep_v a_o sabbath_n day_n and_o a_o thing_n of_o good_a report_n if_o we_o shall_v ascend_v unto_o the_o primitive_a church_n who_o live_v next_o after_o the_o apostle_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o they_o hold_v it_o meet_v to_o keep_v one_o day_n in_o 7_o and_o sometime_o more_o for_o the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o to_o rest_v from_o labour_n thus_o we_o have_v a_o general_a and_o joint_a consent_n of_o all_o church_n both_o now_o live_v and_o from_o the_o apostle_n time_n that_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n meet_v to_o rest_n and_o serve_v god_n public_o one_o day_n in_o a_o week_n and_o so_o we_o have_v prove_v this_o point_n namely_o that_o it_o be_v meet_v &_o convenient_a to_o keep_v a_o sabbath_n day_n indefinite_o one_o in_o 7_o day_n now_o i_o come_v to_o prove_v that_o of_o all_o the_o day_n of_o the_o week_n the_o seven_o day_n or_o saturday_n be_v the_o most_o fit_a day_n my_o first_o reason_n be_v because_o god_n almighty_a rest_v rather_o upon_o the_o saturday_n then_o upon_o any_o other_o day_n genes_n 2.3_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v meet_v we_o shall_v imitate_v such_o a_o precedent_n be_v a_o man_n to_o make_v his_o choice_n on_o which_o day_n of_o the_o week_n to_o rest_n from_o labour_n and_o to_o refresh_v himself_o i_o think_v he_o can_v not_o possible_o find_v a_o more_o fit_a day_n to_o rest_n in_o then_o on_o that_o day_n wherein_o god_n almighty_n rest_v my_o second_o reason_n be_v take_v from_o this_o that_o a_o man_n may_v doubt_v whither_o the_o old_a sabbath_n day_n be_v abolish_v or_o not_o and_o if_o it_o be_v disputable_a and_o
doubtful_a then_o when_o the_o matter_n be_v in_o our_o choice_n which_o day_n of_o the_o week_n to_o take_v it_o be_v the_o sure_a and_o safe_a to_o make_v choice_n of_o that_o day_n whereof_o there_o be_v some_o doubt_n whither_o it_o be_v abolish_v or_o not_o we_o have_v show_v it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v not_o abolish_v but_o suppose_v there_o be_v some_o doubt_n of_o it_o as_o it_o can_v be_v but_o doubt_v of_o by_o the_o stifie_v anti_n sabbatharians_n since_o that_o some_o place_n be_v lest_o for_o doubt_v be_v it_o that_o we_o doubt_v never_o so_o little_a of_o it_o yet_o it_o be_v better_a and_o safe_a to_o keep_v it_o then_o to_o keep_v any_o other_o day_n of_o the_o week_n to_o neglect_v the_o seven_o day_n be_v once_o command_v of_o god_n and_o it_o can_v be_v clear_o prove_v that_o ever_o god_n countermand_v it_o here_o upon_o some_o scruple_n at_o least_o must_v remain_v in_o man_n conscience_n touch_v it_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v fit_a to_o keep_v the_o seven_o day_n so_o shall_v we_o make_v sure_a work_n that_o god_n shall_v have_v nothing_o against_o we_o out_o of_o his_o four_o con_v but_o do_v otherwise_o we_o shall_v lay_v in_o perpetual_a doubt_n &_o fear_n that_o we_o live_v in_o the_o transgression_n of_o the_o four_o come_v so_o much_o be_v speak_v for_o this_o point_n the_o which_o i_o have_v insist_v upon_o not_o so_o much_o hereby_o to_o prove_v that_o the_o seven_o day_n must_v be_v the_o sabbath_n for_o that_o i_o shall_v do_v after_o the_o next_o section_n by_o solid_a argument_n but_o chief_o to_o this_o end_n to_o stay_v &_o satisfy_v the_o mind_n of_o carnal_a man_n with_o carnal_a reason_n &_o with_o testemony_n and_o the_o like_a for_o some_o man_n there_o be_v i_o fear_v i_o that_o can_v wish_v in_o

therefore_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v declare_v unto_o such_o man_n that_o it_o be_v not_o only_o necessary_a to_o have_v a_o sabbath_n in_o religiouse_a &_o divine_a respect_n but_o also_o in_o

all_o christian_n every_o where_o &_o of_o every_o sect_n do_v set_v a_o part_n one_o day_n in_o 7_o for_o god_n worship_n yea_o our_o own_o church_n will_v rise_v up_o in_o judgement_n and_o condemn_v such_o conceit_n by_o hit_n contrary_a and_o daily_a practice_n sect_n ii_o i_o come_v now_o to_o give_v answer_n unto_o many_o frivolouse_a obiectiones_fw-la which_o be_v daily_o raise_v

seven_o day_n the_o saturday_n sabbath_n why_o that_o be_v the_o jew_n sabbath_n day_n hereunto_o i_o answer_v my_o desire_n it_o not_o to_o strive_v about_o name_n be_v the_o lord_n sabbath_n day_n call_v the_o jew_n sabbath_n day_n in_o none_o other_o nor_o worse_a sense_n then_o that_o it_o may_v likewise_o be_v call_v the_o christian_n sabbath_n day_n i_o shall_v say_v nothing_o to_o the_o

sabbath_n it_o be_v the_o sabbath_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o not_o the_o sabbath_n of_o the_o jew_n the_o lord_n tell_v we_o by_o his_o prophet_n isaiah_n that_o we_o shall_v cale_fw-la the_o sabbath_n a_o delight_n the_o holy_a of_o the_o lord_n honourable_a isa_n 58.13_o so_o then_o we_o shall_v use_v the_o name_n of_o the_o sabbath_n honourable_o but_o lo_o how_o man_n will_v use_v it_o reproachful_o cal_v it_o jewish_a and_o the_o jew_n sabbath_n in_o scorn_n and_o contempt_n yet_o further_o the_o sabbath_n be_v ordain_v from_o the_o creation_n genes_n 2.3_o now_o at_o the_o

who_o be_v profess_v enemy_n unto_o they_o and_o delight_n to_o bring_v they_o into_o disgrace_n with_o the_o people_n for_o we_o have_v former_o show_v that_o the_o lord_n never_o forbid_v the_o

which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n record_v to_o posterity_n by_o way_n of_o approbation_n and_o commendation_n that_o be_v no_o ceremony_n but_o moral_a and_o still_o in_o force_n but_o the_o observation_n

the_o major_n there_o can_v be_v no_o doubt_n of_o it_o for_o since_o that_o all_o ceremony_n have_v their_o period_n and_o last_o date_n at_o christ_n death_n upon_o the_o cross_n it_o can_v be_v

by_o the_o four_o come_v beside_o our_o saturday_n this_o i_o shall_v prove_v by_o sundry_a argument_n take_v from_o the_o four_o come_v we_o will_v fetch_v our_o first_o argument_n from_o the_o

the_o servant_n by_o right_a from_o god_n thus_o you_o see_v it_o clear_a that_o to_o rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v a_o work_n of_o mercy_n unto_o man_n &_o beasâ—_n &_o a_o work_n great_o

for_o a_o season_n in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n for_o proof_n of_o this_o see_v numb_a 9.5_o where_o the_o isralite_n keep_v the_o passover_o in_o the_o 14_o day_n of_o the_o first_o month_n

hereupon_o they_o come_v before_o moses_n &_o aaron_n for_o counsel_n &_o moses_n not_o know_v what_o to_o do_v in_o this_o case_n he_o repair_v to_o god_n for_o direction_n whereupon_o the_o lord_n

nevertheless_o to_o this_o argument_n some_o do_v answer_v thus_o that_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o there_o be_v a_o dispensation_n for_o the_o passover_o day_n but_o it_o be_v give_v by_o god_n

the_o like_a as_o some_o infant-like-man_n imagine_v this_o first_o lord_n day_n be_v not_o institute_v for_o a_o sabbath_n whither_o i_o marvel_v then_o will_v they_o run_v for_o a_o institution_n for_o there_o be_v not_o any_o mention_n in_o the_o scripture_n of_o any_o word_n of_o institution_n nor_o of_o any_o practice_n or_o example_n of_o christ_n or_o of_o any_o of_o the_o apostle_n about_o their_o sanctify_v any_o lord_n day_n after_o this_o first_o lord_n day_n until_o pentecost_n day_n act._n 2._o which_o be_v 6_o or_o 7_o week_n after_o this_o first_o lord_n day_n so_o here_o then_o be_v a_o great_a error_n for_o not_o only_o the_o first_o lord_n day_n be_v omit_v for_o a_o sabbath_n but_o also_o there_o be_v no_o foot_n for_o any_o lord_n day_n keep_v like_o a_o sabbath_n for_o 6_o or_o 7_o week_n together_o after_o christ_n resurrection_n thus_o the_o further_a we_o search_v in_o to_o this_o point_n the_o more_o vain_a it_o do_v appear_v in_o so_o much_o as_o it_o

tenet_n as_o be_v this_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n but_o it_o fare_v with_o they_o as_o i_o think_v like_o man_n that_o have_v have_v wrong_a possession_n a_o long_a time_n when_o the_o true_a owner_n come_v to_o claim_v his_o right_n yet_o since_o they_o have_v possess_v it_o so_o long_o they_o will_v invent_v something_o to_o defend_v it_o still_o they_o will_v find_v trick_n quilite_n and_o

now_o this_o many_o year_n and_o since_o it_o be_v do_v &_o the_o lord_n day_n have_v &_o have_v have_v the_o possession_n long_o some_o colour_n must_v be_v set_v on_o the_o matter_n something_o

be_v ready_a to_o reply_v thus_o but_o what_o be_v the_o matter_n that_o this_o lord_n day_n be_v so_o often_o repeat_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n above_o any_o other_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o

if_o they_o do_v they_o will_v not_o be_v ashamed_a to_o say_v what_o they_o point_v unto_o in_o particular_a turn_v it_o off_o thus_o in_o general_a term_n all_o these_o point_n at_o something_o in_o
